Research status and prospect of treatment of non-moyamoya disease chronic cerebral ischemia by intracranial and extracranial vascular bypass: rugged process and broad future / 中华神经医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Intracranial and extracranial vascular bypass surgery is recognized as the main method for treatment of adult patients with moyamoya disease. However, its role in treatment of chronic non-moyamoya cerebral ischemia disease has not been fully elucidated, which involves a series of unknown fields of brain science, such as cerebral blood flow regulation, brain metabolism, cognitive function, and advanced neural activity. Therefore, this article reviews the history of intracranial and extracranial vascular bypass surgery in the treatment of chronic non-moyamoya cerebral ischemia disease to improve the understanding of clinical workers to better promote the application and promotion of intracranial and extracranial vascular bypass surgery.
